Current and temperature spectra exhibit intensification and polarization near sloping bottoms over a band of frequencies centered at the local internal wave critical frequency. Examples are drawn from a variety of island, seamount, and continental slope observations. Waves propagating down from mid‐depth change energy density, wave number, and azimuth when they reflect off the bottom, providing a natural perturbation to the deep ocean interior internal wave spectrum. Deviations from linear theory are interpreted as evidence for dissipation through subsequent shear instability and/or nonlinear interaction. Topographic features appear likely to be energy sinks for internal wave energy.
